  1. You'll have more friction in the hoses, but you will NOT have more static head.
  2. More for the reason I don't like pearl gouramis. Because it took me years to get rid of 300+ of the *@#*(@#$ things!

    Raising PH?

    I put handfuls of bird grit in my filter. It's probably a bit used up now though, hehe...But it should slowly increase the PH and it should only slowly drop once it starts getting used up.
  4. If they're bristlenoses, why bother getting them out? There will always be more of the stupid things...
  5. Once it warms up enough you need to throw some plecos in there. Or bristlenoses.
  6. Oxy shells do nothing to create oxygen. They basically just raise the PH of the water.
  7. Should be ok, the method they use for producing the oxygen, I believe, results in it being pretty pure regardless of what grade it is. Especially with pure oxygen which can make nearly anything burn.
  8. Are you using the air pump to just inflate bags or actually airating it? Anyway, just an inflated bag with little water and just one small fish should be good for 12+ hours easy. Bigger fish, smaller bag=less time.
  9. It's only illegal if you get caught.
  10. You mean Male cat+female cat=little cats. Actually, no... Probably should be male cat+female cat=male cat+female cat+little cats?
  11. Yes, because the world needs more mutts. Wait until the female is in heat then put her with the male. That's about all you need.
  12. Like the previous 3-4 threads in the last month asking this question, yes it's perfectly fine. May raise your PH a little bit if there's heaps of shell in it, I haven't noticed any sand around that I've seen having any worth worrying about. I think we need to make this a sticky, along with "Is driftwood from the beach ok?"
  13. Basically sitting around monitoring computers, some running around loading tapes, running a bit of processing. It's 12 hour shifts, 4 days nights, 4 days off, 4 days days, 4 days off.
  14. Speaking of jobs, anyone in Wellington interested in a job with 4 day weekends? My work is hiring, no real previous experience necessary...
  15. Don't worry, the nurses save the "Om nom nom nom" for after you leave.
  16. Monkeys tend to attack people with rhesus incompatibility factor. Kids are just little ugly bald monkeys, hence the problems Caryl had when she had kids.
  17. You could blame the poor education system, the downfall of critical thinking, the rise of "There is no wrong answer...", the widening difference in reproduction rates between the intelligent and educated vs the stupid and ignorant...Probably dozens of other factors.
  18. Being diabetic doesn't allow you to donate blood? That's a bit odd. It's not as if it's contagious... If anything, it would lower your blood glucose level a bit.
  19. Most of your blood is replaced every 100 or so days. If your body can't handle a little increase in that rate you have bigger problems than losing a few hundred ml of blood.

    Fish dying

    Ohh...Yes, an extra 0 makes a small difference.
  21. Yes. But not enough to care about. Depending on the size of the bow maybe an extra 5%.
